ControlsBefore driving your vehicle it is important to familiarise yourself with the controls. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle before reading the rest of this Handbook.

Dashboard Description

1. Battery Indicator: This indicator shows the level of charge in the batteries. When in the green area the batteries are fully charged. When in the yellow area the batteries need recharging and when in the red areathe batteries urgently need recharging. Note: When the vehicle is climbing a steep incline or starting off, thelevel may drop momentarily; this is normal.

2. Speed Control: This controls the top speed of your scooter. When the knob is turned fully to the left, this is the slowest speed setting, marked by a tortoise. As the knob is turned to the right the speed will increase to amaximum, marked by a hare. Set the speed before you move off. Do not adjust the speed control dial whenthe vehicle is moving.

3. Power On Indicator / Status LED: This indicator (first LED on the battery indicator) shows the status ofthe scooter – either on or off. Note. The controller has a diagnostic mode: If the red LED flashes, this indicatesthat the controller has detected an error or fault. If this happens refer to the diagnostic table at the back of thismanual for a solution.

Tip: One of the most common “faults” is that the scooter has been switched on with the free-wheel functionenabled– Just turn the power on/off key to the off position, position the freewheel lever in drive and turn theignition key back to the ON position.

4. Horn: Press the button and the horn will sound. Release and the horn will cease.

5. Ignition Key: Dependent on the model of scooter, the ignition key may have to be pushed in before you can turnthe vehicle on or off. Remember to remove the key when not in use. Do not leave the ignition on when not in use,especially when charging the vehicle.

6. Finger control: To operate, turn the key to the "on" or "I" position on the ignition. Pull the right hand levertowards you and the machine moves forward. The more you pull the lever the faster the scooter goes. Tobrake, release the lever. Again the faster the lever is released the quicker you will stop. To reverse, pull theleft lever towards you. Do not pull both levers at once. Note. The controls can be changed for customerswith a left-hand bias. Please contact your local dealer for information.

Charging Point: The charging point is situated on the front face of the removable battery pack. (see BatteryCharging section for further instructions).

Freewheel DeviceWhen the vehicle is switched off the brakes are automaticallyengaged. This is called “Failsafe Braking”. Also, if the batteries areflat, the brakes are automatically applied. There may be occasionswhere you may wish to move the vehicle without power. To do thisthere is a Freewheel Device fitted.

The Freewheel device allows the vehicle to be pushed without power.To activate, first locate the lever. When standing behind the scooter, itis located on the right hand side of the rear of the vehicle - See Illustration.

• Make sure the On/Off (ignition) key is in the off position.• Move the lever UP The vehicle can now be pushed in Freewheel.• Move the lever DOWN to engage drive. The vehicle is now braked. This is the normal operating position.• IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SURE OF THIS FEATURE CONTACT YOUR DEALER BEFORE OPERATING THE SCOOTER.

NOTE: To avoid excessive strain on the tiller / handlebar assembly, never push or pull the scooter in freewheel mode if a user is on-board. Pull the lever UPWARDS to engage freewheel mode (no brakes - caution). Push the lever DOWNWARDS to engage Drive mode.

Warning! If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” mode, the braking is disabled. Never select the freewheel mode if the Scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.

BrakesThere are 2 braking systems. The first works with the finger controls. When the finger control is released thescooter will automatically brake and bring the scooter to a stop. When the scooter stops the automatic brake will engage. This will stop the vehicle rolling forward or backward. When you start the brake will automatically disengage. If the battery should run out, the brakes automatically engage. Note that even whenfreewheel is selected, a secondary braking system is applied automatically to limit the maximum speed. Youmay notice this system causing drag when moving the scooter in freewheel mode.

Warning! If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” the automatic braking is disabled. Never select thefreewheel device if the scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.

Battery Charging

The charging socket is located on the front face of the removable batterypack. Rotate the protective cover and push in the plug. When the vehicle is charged remove the plug, and refit the protective cover to help protectagainst dust and moisture ingress.

Tip: The battery pack can be removed or left on the scooter for charging

The battery charger has a small indicating lamp. When the charger is connected to the mains supply and switched on the lamp will show green.When the battery is being charged it shows red and when the battery is fullycharged the lamp will change to green. Always ensure that the lamp showsgreen before switching off and disconnecting the charger at the mains.

Connection InstructionsWhen you receive your vehicle the batteries are only partially charged –always fully charge them before use, preferably over-night.

1. Place your machine in an area that is dry and well ventilated.Make sure a power point is nearby.

17

Warning! When charging batteries NEVER smoke or charge batteries in a place where there are nakedflames such as gas-fired heaters as, under exceptional circumstances, batteries may give off gases thatcould ignite and explode. Always make sure that the battery pack is not damaged. Never charge thescooter battery pack outside as the charger is not designed to get wet. If the charger appears damaged inany way do not use it and contact your dealer for a replacement.

Warning! Always charge in a dry, well ventilated area.

Warning! It is strongly recommended that the mains socket used for charging the scooter is protectedby a 30 m/A RCD (residual current device). Many buildings have sockets protected by a system basedRCD. If you are in doubt as to the level of protection in your charging location then either purchase a plug inRCD or consult a qualified electrician to verify that your charging location mains sockets are protected.

Warning! If batteries are damaged or frozen they could heat up during charging and in an extreme case,explode.

Warning! Do not attempt to open the battery box/enclosure, there are no user serviceable parts inside. It may be necessary for some carriers such as airlines to physically disconnect the batteries for transit. If this is the case the battery pack can simply be removed from the scooter.

Warning! Never use a different battery charger to that supplied by your dealer. Damage or injury mayoccur if you do!

Warning! When charging batteries NEVER connect or disconnect the charger from the scooter while it isstill connected to the mains. - Remove the charger mains plug from the wall socket having first switchedthe mains socket off if a switch is provided.

2. Check the vehicle is switched off and the key removed.

3. Check the mains switch is off. Never connect or disconnect the charger with the mains on.

4. Connect the charger to the charging point on the front of the battery pack.

5. Connect the mains plug and switch on.

6. The lamp illuminates green when the charger is powered up, then red when it is charging. Thecharger lamp changes to green when the battery is fully charged.

7. Switch off the mains and remove the plug from the battery pack when fully charged. Do not leavethe charger plugged in with the power off. This will gradually discharge your battery.

Tip: You can charge you battery pack either installed or uninstalled from the scooter using exactly the same method.

The batteries are the lifeblood of your vehicle. Their characteristics can change depending on charging, temperature, usage and other factors. Listed below are guidelines to prolong battery life.

1. After using your vehicle always charge it at the end of the day even after a short journey.

2. If you do not use your vehicle for a prolonged period, place it on charge once a week, overnight.

3. Always use the correct charger with the correct batteries as recommended by Electric Mobility (Euro) Ltd

4. If the batteries have been flat for a long time (about 2 months) it is recommended you contact yourdealer before charging

5. Do not charge the vehicle in the open / out of doors – it may rain and the battery charger is notwaterproof.

6. Keep the vehicle in a well-ventilated area and away from any naked flame.

7. Do not part charge the batteries. Allow the charger to complete its cycle.

Note: Avoid storing your scooter in cold/damp places. This will shorten battery life and may cause deterioration in the structure. Batteries are expensive to replace – it is wise to look after them.

Warning! Never disconnect a battery or the charger while the charger is connected to the mains

Warning! If one or both batteries are damaged they could heat up when charging and, in an extremecase, explode.

Notice Your battery pack/s is/are not user-serviceable. Your dealer will replace them when they areexhausted and dispose of them in line with environmental regulations applicable at the time.

It may be necessary for some carriers such as airlines to physically disconnect the battery packs. The battery pack can simply be removed from the scooter to achieve disconnection.

Frequently Asked QuestionsI want to transport my vehicle in a car.Your scooter can be dismantled for transportation as described in this manual. Your dealer can advise you onthe correct equipment to be used depending on your vehicle and your physical capabilities.

Can I fit weatherproofing such as a canopy ?No, the Rascal Veo and Veo X models are too small to have a canopy as they can adversely affect stability and handling.

How long will my batteries last ?This is a difficult question as it depends on many factors. The life of a battery depends upon the number ofcycles the battery goes through, the peak loads and on the conditions of use. Some general advice about battery care: • Keep it charged, and do not let the battery run completely flat.• Ensure the scooter is fully charged at the end of the charging cycle• Batteries may not perform as well in very cold weather.• Ask you dealer to test and change your batteries if they have reached the end of their useful life.Care can prolong the life of the batteries but remember that, in time, all batteries will fail to perform to specification.

What range can I expect ?The generally expected range is recorded in the Technical Specification Sheet. Remember, range can be affected by many things such as:• Temperature. Cold weather can reduce the output of the batteries.• Type of terrain. Obviously climbing hills takes more energy than driving on the flat.• Weight of the person.• The condition and charge of the batteries.• Faulty or old batteries or a faulty charger.NB. Always use the correct charger with the correct batteries and ensure the scooter is fully charged beforeyou start out.

How long should I keep my vehicle before I change it?It is important that the vehicle you have suits your needs and abilities. Your scooter should serve you well for manyyears but change it if at any time you feel it no longer meets your needs. Consult your dealer on the condition ofyour vehicle and remember vehicles of any type become more expensive to maintain the older they get.

Technical Information Regarding EMI Important Technical Information regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)The intensity of interference from electromagnetic energy is measured in volts per meter (v/m), which refers to thestrength of the electrical source (voltage) as it relates to the distance away from the object being considered (inmeters). Resistance of a scooter/wheelchair to certain EMI intensity is commonly called its “immunity level”. 20 volts/meter is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against interference from radio wave sources (thehigher the immunity level, the greater protection).

Your scooter has been tested and found to meet the required immunity level from Electromagnetic Interference(20v/m): the recommended density of interference from electromagnetic energy.

• Do not operate devices such as CB radios or mobile phones while the vehicle is switched on.• Avoid getting close to transmitter masts, such as television and radio masts.• Note you may experience interference when close to ambulance or fire stations. If your vehicle starts to operate by itself switch it off and report this to your Dealer.

Warning! Even with the immunity level of 20 volts/meter, certain precautions must be followed to ensure yourscooter/wheelchair will not be affected by outside electromagnetic sources.
